About this property
5 BR, 5 BA in Seaside, quick walk to the private beach access or main pool
Situated just north of the town square and in the heart of Seaside, Mint 4 Fun, with 5 bedrooms, 5 baths and an enclosed tower room with balcony is definitely MEANT FOR FUN!
MInt 4 Fun has large, covered porches on the main floor and second floor. The second floor porch has private entrances from 2 separate bedrooms. All bedrooms have en suite baths.
A tower room with open balcony on the fourth level affords nice views of the gulf and all of Seaside and is a fantastic place to enjoy the sunset or your morning coffee.
The design of this home is architecturally unique.
From the bunk room with a spacious hideaway loft, the 30' cathedral ceilings in the living room, and the close proximity to all the Seaside amenities, you will be amazed with this property!
Mint 4 Fun is just a few steps from the west-end pool and only a couple blocks to the private Pensacola beach pavilion.
We have a large wagon, a rolling cooler, some beach chairs and beach toys for your use.
The Seaside chapel, playground, fitness center, and 3 community pools are all close by (Seaside charges a fee to use the pools, fitness and tennis amenities. This fee is optional and not included in the rent).
The fully stocked kitchen has granite countertops, glass tile backsplash, stainless appliances and all the "tools" you will need for those days you want to cook at home.
There are hardwood floors throughout the house and custom wood shutters for every window.
Of course the powdery white sand and crystal clear ocean is what brings you here, but other highlights of staying in Seaside that you will enjoy are shopping in the many quaint shops, eating at the award winning restaurants, bike riding through town, strolling down the hidden paths or relaxing on the outdoor porches enjoying the fragrant sea air and warm breezes.

Hosted by Christie Croes Derrick
Hello from the Derricks of Atlanta, GA
We have been renting out Mint 4 Fun and our other vacation properties in the 30A area for 15 years and are very knowledgeable about the beautiful 30A community and award winning Seaside.
We will do everything we can to make sure you, your family, and friends make some wonderful vacation memories while staying in our home and we feel sure you will want to return every year!

Why they chose this property
Owning in such a unique and special community has been so amazing and we love sharing Mint 4 Fun with others when we are unable to stay here.
Park your car and enjoy spending the week riding bikes or walking everywhere - Seaside has everything you need!
I can't wait to share with you my recommendations for favorite restaurants, shopping, happy hours, bike rentals etc.

What makes this property unique
There's no bad location in Seaside, but we especially love where Mint 4 Fun is located because we are so close to all the amenities Seaside is famous for.
The Seaside square with all the fabulous shopping and restaurants is a short stroll from our house.
The main west pool is just steps away and the other 2 pools - the Family pool (covered) and Adult pool - are also on our street. The fitness center, tennis courts, playground, basketball court and Seaside Chapel are also right down the street (Seaside charges an optional fee to use the pools, fitness, and tennis facilities).
The private Pensacola beach pavilion is only 2 blocks from our house and we have a large wagon, a rolling cooler and some beach chairs and beach toys at the house for your use.
There is a bike path that you can access right behind our house that leads you into the Watercolor community if you want to explore in there too.
With all these amenities being so close and Publix grocery store being an easy bike ride from our house, you will likely not need your car during your entire vacation!
